Billy Hobbs was a vicious linebacker who highlights the beginning of a great tradition of powerful linebackers at Texas A&M. He was what people called a “real contact football player.” Running backs truly feared this so called “monster in his day,” as did quarterbacks who not only had to duck when they saw number “55? but make sure the ball wasn’t intercepted as Hobbs had hands like a receiver. He returned an interception 100 yards for a touchdown against TCU in 1967, a school record and had 132 total return yards that day, another school record for most yardage gained off interception returns in a single game.
